are there any tools that work with putty to restore connections after
the TCP level connection has been broken. For example, after a laptop
has gone into suspend or hibernate and the WiFi link has been broken.
Is there anything to automatically restore the ssh connections after
the laptop returns to fully operational state?

Not really, but you can use something like "screen" on the server end to
maintain usable getty's that can be reconnected to and keep your active work
available.

Right. And, your processes will stay running even while you're
disconnected.
Automatic reconnection is already on the PuTTY wishlist, at

.. They put it under difficulty "fun", but priority low.

thought so. I knew about screen but need to figure out how to make all
magic character (i.e. ^a) trapping go away, and pass term resizing info
to end app,
